Nah, you output shows that you've run at least both function

	queued_read_lock_hardirq_RE_Er()
	queued_read_lock_hardirq_ER_rE()

but if you apply my diff

	https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/Y8oFj9A19cw3enHB@boqun-archlinux/

you should only run

	queued_read_lock_hardirq_RE_Er()

one test.

One of the reason that DEPT "detect" this is that DEPT doesn't reset
between tests, so old dependencies from previous run get carried over.

Yes I turn that config on.
